Ultimate BUDGET DIY One Light Setup (Speedlight) for Portrait Photography

In this video I will demonstrate that you don’t need to spend much to be able to get great portraits at home. As with all my lighting tutorial videos, I will be giving you a behind the scenes and live view (SOOC) look of the entire shoot.

Beyond Ambient Light
A One-on-One Online Photography Workshop

The aim of this 1-HOUR long workshop is to develop your vision and style with the use of off camera flash.

I will discuss with you habits you should be developing before you actually click that shutter as well as the basics of off-camera flash photography, light manipulation and posing. Then finally, we will implement these learnings through what I call ‘DeConstruction’. I guarantee you it will be a fun way to learn and will be a critical step to improving your photography.

Just something about me…
Since prior to my entry into the wedding industry, I have been considered to be one of the most reputable lighting specialists in the Philippines, conducting workshops nationwide and have been featured in various photography magazines. I was also a multi-awarded portrait and advertising photographer.

My expertise is in manipulating ambient and artificial light to create clean and classic photographs which naturally led me to the genre of portrait and wedding photography. Since then, I have shot numerous weddings locally and overseas exhibiting my signature style.

Another great video. I have a question, CoCo is such a beautiful young lady but I have never seen her smile she always looks sad.

[anthonytriana]

Thank you for this. You have proven that you don’t need an intricate lighting set up to make beautiful portraits. Well done, Jiggie!

P.S.-if you are in a rush and can’t do photoshop due to time constraints, you might use a c-stand or a boom stand for the flash so that you don’t see the light stand in the shot.

Awesome info because I'm definitely on a budget and not even close to being a professional

[EdwardKilner]

Lots of nice content here. I’ve seen those clamps before but passed them by. I’ll rethink that for sure. Coco looked lovely as usual. She must be a makeup artist by now, thanks to your expert friend who assists her. When I try this, I will likely start with TTL. Was there a reason you did not start with TTL?

I use the Sony HVL-60M and use Pixel King Pro, but It can't realy control the flash fully.. I need a new trigger and Reciver but I also use Rotolight Neo 2 with Elinchrome reciver. Is there any trigger and reciver that can do both?
